Cottage cheese on a rice cake — crunchy base, creamy top, low calorie breakfast ready in 30 seconds. Quick fuel that won't slow you down.
Place two thin rice cakes on a clean plate, ensuring they don't overlap for even topping.
Spoon 1/4 cup of low-fat cottage cheese onto each rice cake, spreading gently to avoid crumbling.
Sprinkle each with freshly ground black pepper, focusing on even coverage for balanced flavor.
Add the chopped fresh chives evenly over the top to enhance aroma and color.
Serve immediately to retain the crispness of the rice cake; do not refrigerate once assembled or the cake may lose texture.
